In partnership with The Smile Generation®, on Saturday, July 13, 23 Smile Generation-trusted dentists and volunteers provided $22,211 of donated dentistry to 24 patients.
“Being able to see and treat so many patients at the Northern Nevada Community Housing development was an honor and a privilege for our dentists,” said Kyle Guerin, PDS Foundation & Corporate Social Responsibility. “Patients who visit the Mobile Dental Clinic are amazed that we’re able to provide this level of service, and that they get to walk away with healthier and happier smiles.”
The Mobile Dental Clinic tour will continue traveling around the United States to provide comprehensive oral health care to hundreds of patients in underserved communities. Previously, the Mobile Dental Clinic provided donated dentistry to patients at Sacramento Children’s Home, Bethlehem Center in Visalia, CA, and at the Special Olympics Summer Games in Long Beach, CA. In addition to partnering with Northern Nevada Community Housing, the PDS Foundation will be providing access to care to underserved patients at Rose Haven in Portland, OR, the Key Clinic event in Lakebay, WA, and the Stand Down event in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The PDS Foundation’s Mobile Dental Clinic enables Smile Generation-trusted clinicians and volunteers to provide donated dental care to people in challenged areas, and also provide dentistry to patients during major community healthcare events.
